A mathematical model provides new insights into the distribution of genetic information during bacterial cell division The precise segregation of DNA and the faithful inheritance of plasmids are ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

We showed that Ziapin2 causes special channels to open, causing electrical changes in bacterial cells. "Though in its early stages, this technique may help us in the future to better understand ...

A transporter which some bacteria use to recycle fragments of their cell wall has been discovered by researchers at Umeå university, Sweden. They found that the transporter controls resistance to ...

Sequencing the genome of single bacterial cells has long been technically difficult due to the seemingly incorrigible bias in the gene amplification stage of the process, making it hard to produce ...

A breakthrough method combines silver nanoparticles and Raman spectroscopy for quick detection of foodborne pathogens in beef ...
